mattsmith Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I have bought a new domain for my airline but i haven't got a clue how to get it to work. I bought my domain through daily.co.uk and my hosting is through fivedev. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 do you not get a domain name through fivedev. if you pay for hosting you should get a free domain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Set your nameservers with your domain provider to ns1.fivedev.net and ns2.fivedev.net Providing you've got that domain set up as the default on your hosting it should just work.

My domain isn't set up as the default one, my old domain is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattsmith Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I have set the name servers as ns1.fivedev.net & ns2.fivedev.net and added my new domain domain to my fivedev cpanel. When i type the website address in its not going to my website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 How long ago did you update the nameservers? It takes a little while for them to propagate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattsmith Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 How long ago did you update the nameservers? It takes a little while for them to propagate. Only a couple of hours maybe i'll try leaving them longer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twelka3 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 You need to let them stay in there as thats what will keep your site up. nameservers can take some time (up to 24hours) to start to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators simpilot Posted February 17, 2012 Administrators Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 If your hosting is not set up for the new domain it is not ever going to connect. One of two things need to be done; 1 - You could add an add-on domain using your cpanel but when a user hits your site the url in the browser bar will change back to the old domain. 2 - Get your host to reset the Virtual Host file and use your new domain name as the primary domain(The best way IMO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattsmith Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 My hosting is with fivedev i was told just to add the domain in the cpanel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 You can just add it as an addon domain, that'll work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
